Can HISTORY be FUN? You bet! These vintage Life magazines are the Bee’s Knees, the Cat’s Meow … a Humdinger, a Ripsnorter, a Pip of a good read! You won’t just flip through one of these antique magazines like you would a crummy modern magazine. Instead you’ll find yourself studying each artwork and reading all the humorous and sarcastic commentary.
The early Life magazines didn’t have true news articles, but you will learn a lot about life in those years gone by. The editor did a stellar job of combining comic art, tragic art, and humorous snippets in a way that perfectly describes the times from 1883 to 1936. Even politics becomes entertaining when presented in this forum (Wow – is that even possible??!).
On top of that, 2Neat Life magazines are rare and most people have never seen one. You will have a treasure trove of new jokes and oddities to share with your friends! Many of the artists made their early public debuts in Life magazine before they became widely recognized. Ask if you want help selecting a gift for a special friend.
